“There is an entity that is cold, heartless and sucks all the joy out of the world of Harry Potter, and this time it’s not a Dementor. It would be nice to take the point of view of some people on the Internet who believe that these books do not have an author. Unfortunately, however, this man is so frank with his hateful and divisive ideas that it is impossible to ignore. At the moment, the curators have decided to remove all direct references to it from the exhibition. minimize his presence.. It’s not a perfect solution, but it’s something we can do now while continuing to think about long-term solutions.”
